Bajo el Mismo Cielo (9pm Telemundo) is in Ultimas Semanas. The replacement show will be Eva La Trailera.
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres (10pm Univision) did have a new episode air on Friday, so make sure you're caught up! This is in Ultimas, with the Gran Final scheduled for January 11th. The replacement show, El Hotel de los Secretos will not begin until January 25 (see below). In case you missed it, check out Urban Anthropologist's Karmageddon post.
The El Hotel de los Secretos (UPCOMING 10pm Univision) team is still looking for volunteers to help recap this highly-recommended drama. Check out the synopsis for more information. There will be a break between the end of Yo No Creo En Los Hombres on January 11th and the premiere of Hotel on January 25th, and it looks like they'll be filling in the hour with an extra hour of Pasión y Poder.

This weekend, I added index pages for Mi Corazón Insiste, La Casa de al Lado, and Los Herederos del Monte to the sidebar and updated our existing links for Cuidado con el Ángel, Las Tontas No Van al Cielo, and Pasión to point to the new index pages for those shows. So that puts us at 90/110 shows indexed and approximately 3 more weekends to finish the project.
Mr. 5ft and I spent the long weekend looking at ways to make sidebar updates easier. We're not 100% finished with this, and it's going to take some additional testing throughout the week, so we can gauge the effect of a normal weeks' traffic. It's especially important to hear from you if something doesn't look right on your screen! I'm keeping an eye on things, but it helps to have feedback from other users on other browsers, too.
If there are any technical issues or something doesn't look right, let me know!
In case you missed it, there was quite a lively discussion on the 2015 year-in-review post.
Your turn! Got any community news? Recommendations for shows, movies, music, or books that may appeal to your fellow telenovela fans? Proximas news? Let's hear it! (Remember to keep it spoiler-free and gossip-free.)
The blog looks great! (I'm on my tablet.)
I also get a kick out of Devious Maids. I love the way they poke fun at the stereotypes.
And Jane the Virgin is just...it's in a class by itself. I mean, they have their own recapper! I love the things they're able to do with The Narrator, like the quick summaries and the reminders of who the characters are. Plus his reactions are hilarious.
Sara, gracias! Thank you for the feedback.

I already gave my "review" of Telenovela (not great). Thumbs up for Jane the Virgin. Sara, I know your hubster would enjoy this one. There's something for everyone in it. Diva covered it.
OhhhhNoes--Did anyone see a recent promo for Hotel de los Secretos? I usually FF through commercials, but I stopped to watch this one. Will this be played as straight drama (as in the trailer) or is this going to be played as campy. I hope not. I mean, I loved Doctor Frankenstein and it's campy humor, I thought the Budapest Hotel was ok, but I don't want Hotel de Secretos to copy it.
Can anyone illuminate?
Also, I noticed that Uni is running Amores Verdaderos at noon. They must be a couple of weeks in because Victoria is meeting with Odette and Jose Angel is fighting off thugs in the bathroom. I wish I had known earlier. There was a lot to like in that tale (a lot that was boring and in your face PSA).
Susanlynn--We're a long way away from prepositional phrases and broken chairs, but I thought you ought to know!!
I'm not sure how active I'm going to be with Hotel. It is the late slot which means I'll be behind most of the time. Plus I don't want to accidentally leave a spoiler or fall into the trap of making comparisons. I have such a Swiss cheese memory I know I would screw up!
Also I noticed that UniMas is re-running Por Ella Soy Eva starting I think today if anybody is interested
Eric: He lied to his wife. That could mean he's having an affair.
Nell: It could mean you're watching too many telenovelas.
Eric: How else am I supposed to learn Spanish?
That's right Eric...and we will back you on that story!
It's also listing Duelo de pasiones as starting Jan 18.

I liked Pasion. It is my third favorite novela. I loved Fernando C. As a PIRATE...Captain Rick. Plus, I enjoyed playing as Mad Bess.
I watched Edith G. As Dona Barbara. YIKES !!! She was fierce. Christian Meyer was torn between her and her daughter...hmmm...sounds a lot like LM.
OT..Google Outlander, especially on the Sgfarz site....lots of new photos for the upcoming season. The wardrobe is gorgeous.
If you would like this post to continue in some form, please contact Jane.
Starts tomorrow on Unimas at 8C. Julio Bracho who is El Colmio on Bajo el Mismo Cielo is another capo on this one. Danna Garcia also stars as a narco wife trying to save her son from the family business.
It's interesting that this series was filmed in 2014 and Cisneros Media waited a full year to release it.
